Medical College, New York, the tons Is

there are, strictly speaking, no tonsils.
Where they are found, they are the re.

All gland-siructurcs are exceedingly
delicate, and liable TO injury. Hence,

The smallness Of the regular army'
which NAV be regarded mainly as a POI
lice for keeping the Indians IN oruef,
renders il essential that the militia OF
,ho various States, on whom we would
have to RELY in case OF National emer,
gency. should be kept up to a standard
81 efficiency and discipline requisite Tor
such an emergency. The National nov
eminent has been devoting much a,'ehT
tion To this subject, and the annual re-
mort of the Adlutant-G General contains
some valuable suggestions ana inter-
esting points on the citizen soldiery Oh
the Republic. The result OF the lhspec,,'
tion of State troops conyinces Generai
Drum that there is shown "a Slowly
maturing temper and character ues-
tined TO still more closely unite the reg
ular army and militia This Is a nat,
tering tribute from such a source ana
an encouragement to our Nat'onai
Guard. General Drums reeommenua-
tons are highly practical, ana they
should be deeply considered py
the military authorities in ea"n
State. 1t must be acknowledged
that there is yet too much OF the
holiday character about State en-,
equipments and too little OF the actual
bus ness of the soldier life. Much val
liable time is lost in elementary com,
pany's drills. which should be confined
to the armory, and while the troops are
in camp they should be instructed and
practced in skirmish and battal on
drills. General Drum also recommends
n plain, but serviceablc, fatigue uniform
for the troops OF each State. There has
been a marked Improvement in the ap
pearance of our citizen soldiers OF latt
wears and less of the m-crack, toy bus
mess. The recommendation to provide
the troops with improved arms and am
munitiOn of the same pattern as the reg
ular army. is one that will be unhesi
tatingly concurred in by every membe
of the militia. The admirable system
nut in force in this State by Genera
Porter, by which the military establish

Jno A. Murphy, the Republican
nominee for County Superintendent
of Schools, was born in New Jersey
and received his education IN New
York City. He was engaged for
three years on the New York Jour
nal of Commerce, then served three
years in the army, aud finally settled
in Bent county in 1867, and has been
hero ever since. In 1881 he was
elected County Superintendent, and
has filled the position ever since. Mr..
Murphy is at present the editor Of
the Las Animas Leader, and is an
agreeable talkor and popular citizen.
His election is certain.-La Junta
Tribune.
Bent County register., 1887-10-29

Twenty-Five thousand dollars was
voted to build court house at Las
Animas, and the people of the coun-
~ supposed As that was all that was
asked for, the court house would be
built for that money, but it seems the
commissioners were allowe ed TO make
an appropriation of fifteen thousand
dollars more, making the court house
cost the county forty thousand dol
lars, so far the foundation has been
laid and it looks like nothing more
wouid be done until next spring when
under the same law fifteen thousand
dollars more will be added TO the
court house fund, making the e1-
pense to the county fifty-five thou
sand dollars instead of less than half
that amount which was voted by the
people, how long this thing of ap-
propriating the peoples money for
the building up of one town In the
county is going to continue we can
not say, neither can the people help
themselves, uuless they GO TO the
polls election day and vote for men
spposed to such measures. 1t docs
not matter whether man is repub-
Gcan or democrat he has an inter
est in the county and has to pay tax
es, and when that time comes be will
naturally feel that there has been
some extravagance used in handling
the peoples money. Now is the
time to make complaint, and the tell.
ing way is to vote for new hands to
run the county. There are two tuck.
cts to be voted for, one is democratic
made up principally of men who
have been running the county in the
past. The other is republican made
mp of men mostly not residents of
the county seat, but men who are
recognized as honorable, capable
and worthy gentlemen.
Bent County register., 1887-10-29

Among all the candidates upon the
republican ticket none of the names
gives rs more pleasure IN present
ing to the citizens of Bent county
than that of Henry NJ. Fosdick, the
nominee for county commissioner
from the third district, or the west
end of the county. He WAS born in
Massachusetts and is about 81 years
old, but came to Colorado when very
young with his father, the Hon. II.
NJ. Fosdick, civil engineer, who has
resided on the Arkansas river near
Pueblo about 25 years. We have
known Henry about Is years, as =
boy on his fathers farm and since he
settled down on a quarter section
and married, and during all that time
we have known him as a hard work
ing man, temperate and industrious,
determined to carve from the virgin
soil of the prairie home and cope
tenco for himself and family. The
only patrimony he received from his
father was a good and sensible edu-
cation, one that has made him a
marked man in his community and
raised HIM year after year to the dig
nifty of tho squire of his section, the
only Office within the gift of his
neighbors, but one which he has fill
ed with such dignity and honor as to
receive the compliments of judges of
the higher courts for the ability he
displayed when brought to their no.
tice by appeal cases. The homestead
that Mr.. Fosdick settled upon about
Is years ago Is situated in the west
ern part of Bent county and he has
truly made home out of it-a mon
ument to his exertlons and proof to
our new settlers what energy and de-
termination can do with the virgin
soil of our county. Mr.. Fosdick's
career as = man OF business and in
tegrity is record that any person
would be proud to submit to the ap-
proval of his fellow citizens, and it
is . guarantee that he will bring to
the Office of county commissioners all
the qualities necessary to meet the
appreciation of bis constituents Las
